When did lying
become an acceptable
practice? When is someone,
responsible for what they say?

Words uttered,
when under stress,
unnecessary to say
would be my guess.

If I tell you tomorrow,
would you say, what?
or would you just,
keep your mouth shut?

When words shatter,
against the far wall,
where was the need
to say them at all?

Dry was the mind
of ideas, fresh,
stale thoughts
of being depressed.

Once the time,
for creative thought,
only way now,
seems to be bought.

Enrich your mind,
It's a knowledge vault.
If you choose not,
It's your own fault.

I know of love,
I know it well.
This last stage has been
a living Hell

I write the words,
thinking of you,
and the unlimited things
which you can do.

Carpe Diem,
seize the day.
Worry not about the morrow
or what the future brings.

Memento mori et carpe diem
Remember you have to die,
as we all do.
Tell the truth, do not lie.

When you have those who love the
way you function in life,
as we search for our being,
through love and strife.

Existing for the sake of being,
is our right in this world,
no matter your religion,
life choice or ethnicity.
Every individual has the right
to exist. Everyone.

When your courage has weakened,
your morals are thin,
be very careful,
No Mortal Sin.

Far and away,
in the land of dreams,
special moments spring
forth, without warning.
It's what life will bring.

Long were the memories,
laid here to rest.
The minds of our loved ones,
when the telling was best.

Will they remember,
will they even care,
about love and devotion,
thoughts we can share.

Into the darkness,
go quickly and fast,
or you may stumble,
finding your path.

Why is there fear,
of the dark, unknown?
It's like a Spy novel,
when your cover is blown.

If your whiteness blinds you,
when you have the audacity to
insult people of color.
Racial bias is an issue.
Treat each other as human beings.
It costs little to nothing to be courteous.
Love thy neighbor.

Yearning is a masterful way to start,
no matter where your life is now.
No matter where you may go,
persevere through the pain, somehow.
